Core Tip	The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is able to contribute, both directly and indirectly, to the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The early treatment of the infection and the clearance of HCV represents today, in the age of the direct antiviral agents, an extraordinary opportunity for true prevention of the development of HCV-related HCC.
